Have you noticed that all of the Anarchy states are ruled by biker gangs, kinda like what happens in Mad Max?

Yup. :D
In fantasy games, yes. In reality Somalia is ruled by warlords and has a thriving weapons trade.

Isn't it obvious? The people who made the Mad Max movies were inspired by playing NS! :p

This, basically. If you have enough guns on your side, you can rule pretty much anything.

As long as the guns are well-maintained and have plenty of ammunition to use. Otherwise, as to quote the British against the Zulus at Isandlwana, "Oh Bugger."

Sort of, on the other hand if Mad Max had more ex-UN Hiluxes, you'd be onto a winner.

Back in those days, the AK-47 hadn't been invented yet. The versatility of that weapon is rather intimidating.

Bakunin (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bakunin) looked a lot like a biker. :D

anarchic situations will inevitably devolve into rule by whomever can gather the most power. Since power is more easily to enforce through large scale force, gang authority is the inevitable result.
And nothing says gang authority like a motorcycle!
Pfft, who's going to be scared of gangs of bicyclists, or handgliders, or roller skaters?
